There is a dedicated community of patch collectors out there, and some of them were disappointed that SpaceX stopped designing patches for each individual Starlink mission a few years ago. However, I would say that buying two or three patches a week would have gotten pretty expensive, pretty fast—not to mention the challenge designers would face in making unique patches for each flight.
I'm not a patch collector, but it would have been pretty funny (if a bit ridiculous) if they had kept this up. I wonder what the last Starlink patch was?
